no offense to older people in chat, but why do so many older USonians try to overuse appliances or reusable containers with worn out plastic in contact with food?

@chat@hexbear.net

is this a worldwide issue? my hypothesis was they got introduced to them as wonder materials of the future. even plastic sponges get reused when they clearly have molecule-deep filth in every crevasse

    You'll have to be more specific, either I haven't seen this or I'm old and don't notice it. How do you "overuse" an appliance or reusable container? Do you mean past the point that it's broken or degraded?
